Established when TAMEST was formed in 2004, the ICA Committee represented an elite group of prominent Texas leaders from industry, academia, and the philanthropic community who played a critical role in the formation of TAMEST, providing strategic advice and financial support.

The ICA Committee has since expanded its membership to showcase top Texas companies who are committed to TAMEST's vision, including representatives from major Texas companies, research institutions and foundations.

Chaired by Sara N. Ortwein, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, the ICA Committee works with TAMEST to develop opportunities for increased engagement and collaboration to advance the organization's mission.
